WARNING
 ELECTRICAL  SHOCK 
HAZARD
DO NOT touch a hot oven 
light bulb with a damp cloth 
as the bulb could break. Should the bulb 
break, disconnect electric power to the 
appliance at the main fuse or circuit 
breaker before removing bulb to avoid 
electrical shock.
WARNING
 NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages 
in the oven bottom or cover an entire 
rack with materials such as aluminum 
foil. Doing so blocks air  ow through 
the oven and may cause carbon 
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil 
linings may also trap heat, causing a  re 
hazard.
WARNING
 BURN  HAZARD
 When self-cleaning, surfaces 
may get hotter than usual. 
Therefore, children should be 
kept away. The oven door, 
especially the glass, can get hot. Danger 
of burning: DO NOT touch the glass and 
children should be kept away.
CAUTION
To avoid sickness and food waste, DO 
NOT allow defrosted food to remain in 
the oven for more than two hours.
NOTICE
DO NOT turn the Temperature Control on 
during defrosting. Turning the convection 
fan on will accelerate the natural defrosting 
of the food without the heat.
CAUTION
You must carefully check the food during 
the dehydration process to ensure that it 
does not catch  re.
DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the 
oven after self-cleaning cycle has begun, 
since some parts become extremely hot to 
the touch!
During the  rst few times the self-cleaning 
feature is used, there may be some odor 
and smoking from the “curing” of the 
binder in the high-density insulation 
used in the oven. When the insulation is 
thoroughly cured, this odor will disappear. 
During subsequent self-cleaning cycles, 
you may sense an odor characteristic of 
high temperatures.
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING 
THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.
WARNING
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
•Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it.
• Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other  ammable vapors and materials.
• If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.
• NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air from the vent may ignite  ammable items and may increase pressure in 
closed containers which may cause them to burst.
• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly  ammable. Avoid their use or storage near 
an appliance.
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave 
plastic items on the rangetop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted surface burner.
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over 
hot foods. DO NOT leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc;  re hazard.
In Case of Fire
Turn o  appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the  ame. Extinguish  ame then turn on hood to remove smoke and 
odor.
• Cooktop: Smother  re or  ame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.
• NEVER pick up or move a  aming pan.
• Oven: Smother  re or  ame by closing the oven door. DO NOT use water on grease  res. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or 
foam-type extinguisher to smother  re or  ame.
• GREASE–Grease is  ammable and should be handled carefully. DO NOT use water on grease  res. Flaming grease can be 
extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher. Let fat cool before 
attempting to handle it. DO NOT allow grease to collect around the oven or in vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.
Child Safety
• NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot.
• NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.
• DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small 
children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other 
parts of the appliance.
